The
name alone evokes mood and mystery. A land
of fire and ice, where active volcanoes rise
from a frozen wilderness and violent storms
rage over jagged peaks whose summits tear holes
in the turbulent sky.

Using a combination of kayaks, skis
and kites, three Australians will traverse the South Patagonian
Icecap - the third largest ice mass in the world - from the Pacific
Ocean to the famous Torres del Paine National Park.

Storm-whipped seas and white-water rivers, deep crevasses and steep
icefalls, winter blizzards and freezing temperatures combine to
make this Patagonian traverse both heaven and hell. Follow the
team live.
